Using alcohol as a cover
Has anybody ever gargled alcohol before playing blackjack to make it seem like you are drunk? I have never tried it myself but to me this would seem like a pretty effective and easy cover to pull off. Maybe spill a bit of whiskey on your clothes to add to the effect. Before you know it you are just another drunk mark for the casino and counting cards at your leisure.

That’s a little drastic. It doesn’t hurt to smell like alcohol, but gargling is an unnecessary step. It doesn't really give you any cover because the casinos will gladly kick out a skilled player even if they think he's drunk. If you have to go that far to subdue the heat, you aren’t going to last long anyway. It’s a better idea to find ways of avoiding heat in the first place. A good sense of timing is the best cover any player can ask for.

Alcohol can be used effectively for a BP team. The BP can constantly leave to piss, get more alcohol, pass out, or stare longingly at a cheerleading team heading out to a competition.
It's also a convinient explanation for why the BP returns from the bathroom, goes to a different table, and demands to know who the **** took his chips.

You can fall off your chair too (see ZGI), but Sonny is right -
its not a total panacea for cover, just a piece of the camoflauge. zg

Yeah, I'm just wondering how long it's going take the new ownership of Anheuser-Busch to start adding raspberry flavoring to their new product.
God bless America!! We really do need it.
